Transformation Zone

The
EVSC currently has five schools (listed below) that are part of the
newly-created Transformation Zone wherein they will receive targeted
academic and operational support to increase student achievement. Just
as teachers differentiate instruction for their students so that each
student can be reached the way they learn best, EVSC is committed to
differentiating support for schools.
Under
the guidance of the newly-established Office of Transformational
Support, the EVSC Transformation Zone is an initiative to achieve
significant and lasting gains in student achievement in five EVSC
schools by providing teachers and students with more resources and
supports, thus empowering teachers to transform the lives of their
students.

The Transformation Zone is a place where:

Students benefit from a continuum of support services to meet their diverse needs and prepare them to focus on learning;

Teachers and administrators thrive in a “whatever it takes, no excuses” culture;

Teachers are empowered through intensive instructional support,
including grant dollars for classroom resources, job-embedded coaching
from master and mentor teachers at three TZ “TAP” schools, and
specialized PD for all TZ teachers based on Doug Lemov’s Teach Like a Champion;

Teachers, coaches, and administrators collaborate daily in professional learning communities to share best practices and advance instruction;
